NEID Time To Kill

Posted in Labels on December 7, 2023

Formed in 2007, Italian grindcore band NEID has signed with Time To Kill Records, announcing that their label debut will be a covers EP titled Still Offensive.

The band says:

This EP is a tribute to a musically prolific decade, the one that goes from 1990 to early 2000s, which in our humble opinion has been overlooked for a long time, unlike the acclaimed 80’s! We feel connected to the 90’s for many reasons, mostly because some of us took our first steps in that decade, having played in hardcore-punk bands born in that period such as Tmd, Manifold, Razzapparte and Flopdown. It therefore seemed natural to us to revisit and rearrange a bunch of songs from some bands we have always loved.

Specifics about the EP, as well as live dates, are still to come.
